followup, without the dash. Back in the old days it was follow-up or follow up. I would go with whatever the client wants, I have one that wants the dash, one that does not.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

For the accounts that I work on, the doctors prefer it all written out. I don't know what the BOS3 has to say about this, but it's probably one of those things that goes by what the doctor, or QA, prefers.

but someone else may have a different opinion. If the account I am doing is not verbatim then I transcribe current temperature and maximum temperature because I consider those terms to be slang. Again, others may have different opinions but I haven't had any complaints.

L5 compression fracture; C5-6 herniated nucleus puposus. I have never used fifth lumbar or lumbar five. Most docs I have had always dictate as L5 or C5-6 and also some do C-spine or L-spine. easier for them, I guess, as well as whoever reads the report.

I work in a hospital and they voted x2 as an unacceptable abbreviation. We currently have to spell it out. We also have to spell out q as every, qid as four times daily, bid as two times daily and so on and so on. I would ask the dictator or your QA person before making a final decision.
